Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork ribs
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove pork ribs from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature, which ensures more even cooking.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the middle of the oven.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Place ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, bone-side down, for easy cleanup.
- Pour half of the marinade directly over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Reserve remaining marinade for basting.
- Cover the baking sheet tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and create tender ribs.
- Bake ribs in preheated oven for 1 hour and 45 minutes, maintaining a low and slow cooking temperature.
- Remove foil, brush ribs with remaining marinade, and return to oven uncovered for an additional 15 minutes to caramelize and develop a rich glaze.
- Remove ribs from oven and let rest for 10 minutes, allowing juices to redistribute and ensuring maximum tenderness.
- Slice ribs between the bones and serve hot, garnishing with optional fresh orange zest or chopped parsley if desired.
Tips
- * Make sure to remove the pork ribs from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even cooking. * Don't skip the step of letting the ribs rest for 10 minutes before serving - this allows the juices to redistribute, making the ribs even more tender and flavorful. * To take your ribs to the next level, try garnishing with fresh orange zest or chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. * If you like a little extra heat, feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your taste. * To make cleanup a breeze, line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the ribs bone-side down.
